Yeah, the 10/22 is very specifically a .22LR design. There have been some modified magazines from the custom shops like Volquartsen, which make the CB Longs load more reliably - but it's an expensive project to get it sorted out.

I love using the CCI CB Longs in my Marlin 39 - all you hear is the hammer drop, followed by the meaty thump of the bullet connecting with the target. I tried the CB Caps first (same ballistics as the CB Longs, just made on a Short case), but the 39 didn't feed them reliably. I guess even the Short-Long-Long Rifle combo designs have limitations.

I have a Taurus TX22 semi-automatic pistol. I have shot the Super Colibris in it. While they do not cycle the action, they feed very reliably if you manually cycle the action.

With a suppressor attached, they are BB gun quiet out of the pistol.

They have good accuracy out to 10 yards, enough for small pests.

Sometimes a center-mass hit on a raccoon has resulted in them going about 60 yards away, and going into the most insane screaming death throes.
